A high production method for the safe opening of containers of hazardous materials (Hazmat), including chemical weapons with or without burster explosives charges, and the complete destruction of their hazardous contents and rendering of resultant dunnage. This method embodies enclosing the Hazmat containers in materials which facilitate and ensure safety of their initial handling/transport from their point of origin (original storage location) to the destruction site, during opening and destruction. This method calls for the placing of the enclosure in a sealed breaching-chamber for opening and prepurging of the Hazmat containers and pre-neutralization of the Hazmat. The enclosure containing the opened or breached containers is then mechanically transferred or gravity fed directly into a furnace, agitator or comminution device for the final and complete destruction of the Hazmat, and destruction or decontamination of the opened Hazmat containers. The entire opening and destruction method is performed in a sealed environment with redundancy of every step in the operation. An afterburner is provided for volatiles. The complete method is enclosed in a containment structure. Any fugitive gases which might escape into the containment structure would be recycled through a furnace and/or afterburner to ensure complete Hazmat destruction. The entire facility is blast resistant, operates under negative pressure and is electronically/chemically monitored by qualified professionals to ensure complete destruction of all Hazmat. |
